Events

On Wednesday, January 16th, all Gerontology Minor students and Gerontology Club members were invited for pizza and socializing as we jumped into a new year and a new semester. We also gave a gift to all our students who are graduating this year.

Two BYU Gerontology students recently went to Miami Jewish Health Systems in Florida to work with Dr. Marc Agronin, his staff, and the residents of their facility. They received exceptional hands-on training. We have finished accepting applications for this internship opportunity in 2019.

The Society, Behavior, & Health International Studies Program, led by BYU Professor Julianne Holt-Lunstad, invites students to the Italian island of Sardinia for an exceptional learning experience. Dr. Holt-Lunstad is an Affiliate of the Gerontology Program. Part of the experience includes interviews with centenarians in this "Blue Zone." Watch the incredible video.
